Almost all of the top luxury goods and private homes are the highest proof of the family with badges, which has become the bloody label of countless nobles around the world. Because it represents the rank of the nobility, there are strict rules on the badge, and it will change with the change of the identity and rank of the nobility. Although the badge can not be regarded as a royal aristocratic agency, its existence is like a business card, although it can be found by everyone, but the badge used by the British royal family is even more significant. The British Royal Coat of Arms is the British King's emblem, so it has also become the British national emblem. The meaning of each element on the badge: â— British royal coat of arms, shield: Two groups of three golden lions symbolize "England" Red lion symbolizes "Scotland" Harp symbolizes "Ireland" â— Both sides: The lion on the left represents the unicorn on the right side of "England" for "Scotland" â— The circle around the coat of arms uses the word "Honi soit qui mal ypense", which is the garter on the Guardian Medal. â—The lower end is hung with a sash.

There is a very interesting story about the source of the Guardian Medal on the badge. According to historical records, in 1347, King Edward III held a grand celebration at the Eltham Palace. At the celebration ball, the Countess Saltspore was ridiculed by the garter for accidentally falling. At this time, Edward III walked over without hesitation, picked up the blue garter from the ground and tied it to his knee. Later, in a reproachful tone, he uttered the motto that has been passed down through the ages: "The shameful person is shameful" and announced on the spot that the Guardian Medal, marked with a blue garter, will be established as a symbol of England's highest honor.
